I could provide an updated patch if need be. For the sake of smaller size,
i did choose to switch to IMA compile mode for the patch i use for
libbusybox. As pointed out several times, IMA mode doesn't work
consistently in gcc-3.x and -4.x, so for 1.2, we will have the IMA mode
as independant option in the build submenu to let the user turn it on or
off depending on which compiler-version she uses, how much RAM she has
on the build-host etc, etc.
